[sammyriver]

[Superduper]

Go!

Subtle, and subtle is good. Maybe the handle would also look good in black to match the theme of the modification?

 

[Zippy]

Go!

 

[redbenjoe]

looks alot better than the original -
agree re the black handle

 

[trippy1313]

I like it. Makes it look cleaner but less boring. Handle either way.

 

[baddboybill]

My opinion is restore as original the black looks cheap

Thanks for the input guys - here is with the black handle as suggested.

 

[superlew]

I like it. Looks like it's wearing a tux.

 

[Ken]

Go!

Me three!

Bill always goes for the stock look. He's our voice of reason...

but the box is yours

 

[baddboybill]

Well I say if your keeping box forever then go for it but its not in bad shape. But for resale most people wouldn't buy it. Heck its hard enough just selling it for $10-$20 to a collector. Now if it was all messed up I would for sure say go 4 it. I know this unit is only worth a few bucks anyway

For me resale value never plays a part in whether I will paint a boombox. If you think it looks good then go for it. I actually really like the black accents...I think it adds to an otherwise boring looking box.

That is a Panasonic 5015. There are many like it, but that one is yours. So make it the way you want it and make it yours.

 

[ralrein1]

So sammyriver,tell us what did you end up doing to your cool little rx-5015?

 

[mancardo]

and I agree with the black handle too...

 

[MyOhMy]

Go for it! There's nothing to lose with a $10 outlay but I'd give the black handle a swerve 'cos it detracts from the accents waaaay to much.
